Poor decisions in the passing game continue to be a thorn, but we'll adjust. Thanks for checking in.

I second young22. They were obviously a better team and they just played better. You’ll get em next time.

Their record didn't reflect their capabilites, especially with Alvarez back under center. I've also noticed, over the years, that adjustments made on the sliders are not immediate; is anyone else noticing this?

I had the same setup for Wyoming, and though I struggled, I still did ok. Then a 1-6 Utah State comes in and whips the ever-loving-hell out of my guys.

So does anyone have any thoughts on a delay in sliders "activating"?

LOL! Sometimes this game just plays very funky. It tries to capture what college football is -- with rivalries, upsets, and other crazy things -- so it picks a "random" difficulty based on if the other team is a rival, if it's an important game, and if you're away. I feel that sliders take the backseat to this "RNG" sort of college football craziness.

With that being said, like I said before you'll slaughter them next time you play them. I love revenge games in this game -- I feel like the game knows that it's a revenge game. In my ECU dynasty I am going to crush UConn this year in my revenge game. They kept me out of a bowl, and likely shifted recruits focuses!

Still, when you're on a huge winning streak in this game, I always feel relieved when I lose. That's how I know that my sliders are on the spot.

I was kinda hoping that would be the case, and not a situation where you set the sliders and the game just plays one way from there on out. I'm not an elite-level player on this game, despite playing the series for two decades, so shifting to Heisman, after a six month absence from the game, is certainly more challenging for me than it probably is for gamers like Young and Moose, but I do like the challenge. It's kinda satisfying when you hit a great pass with the sliders weighted against you, cause you know you're doing so with an increased level of difficulty. Of course, then your next three plays get blown up, but c'est la vie.

Thanks for the feedback, Parent.

That image that you screenshotted in game that is part of the "Thorough Beating" headline is spectacular, haha. Talk about a perfect image for the game story.

Thanks for the praise, Moose. That means a lot coming from a Dynasty legend such as yourself.

Game Notes
The Aztecs of San Diego State and the Lobos of New Mexico clash in a Mountain West Conference game in Qualcomm Stadium this Saturday night. This should be the toughest game for either team thus far, as both teams nearly mirror one another on offense and defense, with the lone exception being the Lobos #1 ranking in defending the rush.

The Lobos need a conference win to stay just behind Mountain Division leaders, Boise State and Air Force, while San Diego State needs this win to avoid slipping to 1-3 in conference play and dropping to 5th place in the West Division.

Lobos Head Coach, Justin Simmons, said yesterday, "We'll need our offense to return to 'keep away ball', which we've gotten away from in recent games. The Aztecs are too good on offense to let them have possession more than a few times, so we're gonna try to slow the game down, limit it to only a handful of possessions, and try to keep their offense off the field."

ESPN Analyst, Kirk Herbstreit, favors the visiting Lobos in this game, who are reeling from their firt loss of the season to Utah State. San Diego State has lost two straight, surrendering 31 points in both losses.
